In my limited experience these objects are complicated and unintuitive enough that it would be hard to come up with a short simple descriptive name for them. So then you are back to applying an arbitrary label, like a name!

As the article mentions, the pair of pants, hairy ball theorem, no free lunch, and refers to conway, presumably the game of life. The creators/inventors/discoverers are in the best position to come up with a name, because they presumably understand the concept enough. Though it does require a degree of creativity.
